Now this software is ready to use. You can have a look on it at
http://formconv.sf.net. It can convert formulae from an intuitive format
(which contains several CAS formats) into Maxima, Maple and LaTeX
currently. We are working on other formats as well. The code is written
in PCCTS/C++. This software is free (LGPL'ed).
